I encountered God the summer I
was five. My father had finally grown too sick to get out of bed, so the
heat and nervous tension in the air inside the house made it impossible to
breathe. I would escape by squeezing under the front porch. All manner
of creatures lived there, but I mostly ignored them, with one exception — a
little frog who, every time I crawled (爬行) under the porch, stared at me with
great, golden eyes.
In late June, the frog finally hopped (跳跃) toward my arm and stared at me,
demanding eye contact. Once he had my attention, he opened his wide mouth and
said, "Hello, Sophie."
I should have been shocked, but for
some reason, I wasn't. Perhaps at five years old, I was more receptive to
something against the laws of nature. At any rate, I was not shocked
that a frog could speak. I had a more pressing question.
"How do you know my name?"
The frog blinked slowly. "I know
everything. I am God."
I spoke, "You can't be God. You're
too small."
He extended a long, webbed finger and
was pointing to the edge of the porch's shadow — to the spot where my
mother had tried to grow flowers there for years. She had stopped trying
when my father's condition worsened.
"Look there," commanded the
frog, and I stared as a beautiful white flower blossomed as if stretching its
limbs after a long sleep. In my five years, I had never seen anything so
splendid.
God and I became good friends
that summer. I spent every day under the porch, talking to him.
Sometimes I asked God questions.
Sometimes he answered. Once, I asked him where Heaven was.
"Heaven," he said, "is
where I live."
In August, my father's illness
had progressed to the point that I was sent to my aunt's house in Virginia.
I told God I would be back soon, and then waited in Virginia for my father to
get better.
